Read it before voting.

EDIT: You can now retract your vote.

I voted no. Balls was the first name. And it's the same Karma system no matter what it's called.

[Captain Malachi]

Much better. Sorry 'bout that Trygon.

[Poly]

No, don't change it. Balls are good. Not all of us believe in Karma.
But Balls are needed to get anywhere in life, everyone knows that.

[1deadcop]

No, dont change it, polys already got 5 balls and i think thats outstanding


He earned every testicle

[Poly]

I've been tossing them out too.
It's like the ball room in a McDonalds play place.
It's a way of finally saying: I like this guys chutzpah.
So would karma, & now I refer you to my previous post for further clarification.

Loving the smell of balls in the morning?

Balls is here to stay. It sound better saying 'es got some balls dat 'un than he has got plenty of good karma, yes?

Cheers!

I've given Poly like, 3 Balls, considering he has contributed a lot and is making this dream more of a reality.

[Dangeresque]

It seems that few understand the balls system... if people are linking it to karma...

Anyway, if I were to agree to anything else, it would be "guts". If I were to agree... because I think balls sums up what they are for pretty well.

[Poly]

Thanks Fungus!
Capt. Mal got his last one from me.

Balls works. Even though it is a bit childish.

Then again, it's Newgen

[Enigma]

Balls works, if a tad childish. Also, what's with this rampant handing out of balls? I've given absolutely no one any balls thus far. Maybe I attach more value to balls and don't hand them out much, or maybe I just like hoarding my balls, but it seems like everyone now has multiple sets of 2, if you know what I mean.

[1deadcop]

two facts

1: the two ppl who voted yes, have none
2: ^enigma has 69 posts, he gets balls for that



than is all

I'm glad to see that someone gets it. Hell, I got it first go I think.

I suggest that people actually READ the balls... it's getting really annoying seeing people just hand them out over trivial shit. They're becoming as redundant as post ranks...

[bluetablelover]

I like the name Balls. Keep it the Blood God demands it.

Wait...what's that above my avatar...(looks closer)...WTF! General Private!! That sounds wrong!!

[Alta]

Ok.., I like the balls system, but I don't understand how to get them...
Is "Got some" to give someone balls and "Get some" to take away balls?..

If so I think "Got some" should be renamed to "Give Some"

[FungusA]

Got some means: You got balls, I respect you for it. Get some means: You ain't got balls, go find yourself some.

[killercroc]

Personally I find the 'balls' bit a tad un-needed, as well for karma or any other way to say one user is better than another. "oh yeah, he has 10 karma, so he may be really nice, so I'll not talk to anyone but him". Just saying that it is one of those things that people really care about, even though it is a pretty trivial thing. But that's just my opinion...

*Sighs*

1deadcop please click this, read it, then comeback here & still try to justify it.

To emphasize how much I don't like balls being given out arbitrarily-
I have removed the two balls I got for posting Willie Bum Bum in the last balls thread.
